Sushant Singh Rajput was a complete outsider who made it from background dancer to a movie star through hard work and talent. That's an amazing and unique true story. Take a moment to remember that above everything. For outsiders, actors struggling, for anyone. That's a legacy.

How you treat people matters, says Vir Das
In one of his more recent tweets, Vir Das said that it was easy to say that someone died due to depression as one doesn't need to look at their own actions. He mentioned how everyone at some point in their life has known someone who has suffered from depression and that it is important to be kind to people around us. How you treat people matters - said Vir Das.
It's convenient to pass off the death of a young person as "oh...depression". That means you no longer have to own your systemic part in it.

MOST people you know have suffered from depression at one point or another, even if they don't know it. How you treat people matters.
People have had different views and reactions to the post. One Twitter user mentioned that a toxic environment can be blamed for such a death. Other people have come forward in favour of Vir Das and said that he is right and that people should be kind.
Toxic workplaces must end. Corporate or #Bollywood, the results are the same.

Very true.. question should be who treated them this way? Who put them in depression? Who pushed them to the corner? Aren’t those people/bullies responsible at all?
